Restaurant Blauw Amsterdam

NileGuide Expert tip:

Much better quality than most Indonesian restaurants in the old centre, so well worth taking the 10 minute tram ride.

Description:

• The restaurant is located at the end of the Vondelpark furthest from the city. On a nice evening it's a pleasant 30 minute stroll through the park, starting at the Leidseplein. Otherwise there are plenty of public transport options.
  
  Since opening in Amsterdam in 2009, it has generally been regarded as one of the best Indonesian restaurants in town. The restaurant has a very modern elegant interior, and quietly buzzing atmosphere. The atmosphere is more suitable for a family meal, or a romantic couple, rather than a group getting ready for a night out.
  
  It's reputation justifies the slightly higher than normal prices. The rice table, which allows you to sample around 10 different things from the menu, is highly recommended. It costs around Euro 30. Indonesia was a former colony of the Netherlands, therefore the competition among the numerous Indonesian restaurants is high, and the quality of food equally so.
